About: Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I understand firsthand that pets are more than just animals—they're family! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and my goal is to give them the same love, care, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing and having some company, I'm happy to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving dependable, attentive, and loving care. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel connected to your furry friend while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I work remotely full-time from home, which allows me to offer doggy daycare services during the week while providing a comfortable, loving environment for your furry family members. Since I'm home throughout the day, I can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I'm also available for overnight boarding on weekends, giving you peace of mind knowing your pet is in a welcoming and attentive environment while you're away. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I'll do my best to accommodate their individual needs and schedules. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing nearby, I'll make sure they feel right at home! Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I take the time to learn about your pet's preferences, feeding schedule, behavior, and any special care instructions before each visit. When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect your space while making sure your furry friend receives plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I'll always make sure doors are secure, fresh water is available, and your pet's environment is clean and comfortable. I also believe communication is important! I'll provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving loving care.

“We had a great experience with Janny and Tramyra! They are incredibly knowledgeable, laid back and patient. They watched our two dogs for over a week, took them on several walks and gave them lots of play time with other furry friends. One of our dogs has battled severe anxiety in the past when we’ve left her and also displayed nervousness around other dogs. Not only did she feel at home with Janny and Tramyra, but she felt comfortable enough to interact with and play with other dogs. Our dog who is on a weight loss journey even lost weight during his stay! They sent daily updates and lots of pictures to give us peace of mind. This was our first experience using Rover and it left a really good impression!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 44 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clarksville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

97% of sitters in Clarksville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Clarksville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Clarksville.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clarksville. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Clarksville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in IA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
